What causes this issue?

You tried to compare ledgers that carry different charts of account
(such as G/l account - group account).
In this case, the system tries to substitute the accounts from the
'detailed' ledger (the G/L account ledger from the example above) for
the accounts from the 'summarized' ledger (the group account ledger)
and displays the amounts in the summarized account.
If this substitution is not possible (no group account is assigned to a
G/L account), this is displayed in 'Notes' on the list with 'Group
account not defined' or 'Alternative account not defined'.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
